Psalms 101

1 A Psalme of David. I will sing mercie and iudgement: vnto thee, O Lord, will I sing.

A psalm of David. I will sing of covenant faithfulness and justice; to you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

2 I will doe wisely in the perfite way, till thou commest to me: I will walke in the vprightnes of mine heart in the middes of mine house.

I will walk in the way of integrity. Oh, when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity within my house.

3 I wil set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the worke of them that fall away: it shall not cleaue vnto me.

I will not put wrongdoing before my eyes; I hate worthless evil; it will not cling to me.

4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will knowe none euill.

Perverse people will leave me; I am not loyal to evil.

5 Him that priuily slandereth his neighbour, wil I destroy: him that hath a proude looke and hie heart, I cannot suffer.

I will destroy whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone who has a proud demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

6 Mine eyes shalbe vnto the faithfull of the lande, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfite way, he shall serue me.

I will look to the faithful of the land to sit at my side. Those who walk in the way of integrity may serve me.

7 There shall no deceitful person dwell within mine house: he that telleth lyes, shall not remaine in my sight.

Deceitful people will not remain within my house; liars will not be welcome before my eyes.

8 Betimes will I destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the workers of iniquitie from the Citie of the Lord.

Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked from the land; I will remove all evildoers from the city of Yahweh.
